IT Support, Cloud Computing: Infrastructure & Operations, Systems Administrator, Systems Engineer
6-month contract
London / Hybrid - 2/3 days in the office a week
I'm working with a leading UK financial services organisation looking for a hands-on Cloud Operations Engineer to join their team on an initial 6-month contract.
This is a Microsoft-focused enterprise infrastructure role, but there are two particularly important areas they're looking for:
1. Strong hands-on Microsoft 365 / Microsoft infrastructure experience
2. Experience with MOVEit or other enterprise data transfer / orchestration technologies
If you've got both, I'd be very interested in speaking with you.
The role
You'll be responsible for supporting and improving a large enterprise Microsoft environment across cloud and on-prem infrastructure.
The role will cover:
- Microsoft 365 / Office 365
- Intune and Autopilot
- Conditional Access and PIM
- Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint and One Drive
- Microsoft Defender / endpoint security
- Azure and hybrid cloud infrastructure
- Windows Server, Active Directory and Group Policy
- Power Shell and automation
- Monitoring and service health
- L3 troubleshooting and technical support
- Infrastructure security and vulnerability remediation
- Change management and ITIL processes
- Production support and participation in an on-call rota
The organisation has a significant requirement around secure and automated data transfer between systems.
We're particularly interested in people with hands-on experience of:
MOVEit / Managed File Transfer (MFT)
For example:
- Administering and supporting MOVEit
- Creating or maintaining transfer workflows
- Scheduling automated transfers
- Troubleshooting failed transfers
- Monitoring transfer jobs and resolving errors
- Working with automated data transfer processes
You should be comfortable taking ownership of complex technical issues and working at 3rd-line/L3 level.
Ideally, you'll have:
- Excellent Microsoft 365 knowledge
- Hands-on experience with MOVEit or equivalent MFT/data transfer/orchestration technology
- Experience supporting production environments
- Good understanding of security, identity and endpoint management
- Experience with change management and ITIL processes
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
If you're a senior Microsoft infrastructure/M365 engineer with MOVEit, MFT, data transfer or orchestration experience
, I'd be very keen to speak with you.
